The best take-away restaurants Belize

At the exit of the ferry, you can go directly to this cafe-restaurant, which serves breakfast and hearty meals throughout the day. North American inspiration with the traditional pancake that are to fall, the complete omelettes, or the bread lost to cinnamon. In addition, you can order seafood, and generally lobster and shrimp are part of the party. Good address.

In this little restaurant/snack bar, you'll find most of the classics of Mexican street food (we're only an hour from the border, after all): tacos, burritos, tostadas, enchiladas and other corn-based soups. And although Mercy's doesn't look like much, it's delicious. The tortillas used for the burritos are made with homemade flour, and the corn cakes for the tacos are unforgettably tasty. Another advantage is that it's very inexpensive. Soak it up with freshly squeezed orange juice or agua de horchata.

Visit this small window on Belizean gastronomy, ideal from breakfast until your return from swimming, to satisfy one of those hungers that doesn't wait until you're comfortably seated. Here, you'll find just about everything: chicken dishes, fresh fish, seafood and vegetable soups, egg dishes for breakfast, and so on. Guaranteed not to disappoint, and what's more, the welcome is extremely warm, despite the rather shabby premises. A few wooden tables are also available for eating in.

At Pepperoni's, you can eat in or call for delivery. Convenient when you're tired and want to enjoy your hotel room! The pizzas are made in the Italian style with a thin dough prepared each morning, and you can add any ingredients you like from a fairly exhaustive list. You can also choose from the chef's own creations. Calzones are particularly tasty, and not short on cheese! This is undoubtedly the best pizzeria on the island!

Ideal for a gourmet break, BTL Park is packed with little shacks offering a variety of specialities (wood-fired pizzas, Jamaican dishes, Filipino specialities, Mexican dishes...). The "vegan bites" shack is also very popular. The establishments change over the years, but it's always worth dropping by BTL Park on a trip to Belize City, as you'll often discover good local dishes that aren't often sold in the city's traditional restaurants. Good value for money.

If you're looking to take a break or meet someone from Belmopan, Wings and Feathers is the place to be in Belmopan. You can grab a coffee, a sandwich or a salad, and take advantage of the excellent wi-fi and the comfort of the place to get together in total serenity. The hot chocolate is really excellent! The place is surprisingly large, with exotic wood furnishings and large murals, and it's a great place to unwind. If you're feeling peckish, try the eggs Benedict.

Cha Chi's is somewhere between a restaurant, a pizzeria and a gourmet pub. We come here to enjoy an excellent pizza with crispy dough or a filet of the day's fish, as well as to have a drink, especially in the late afternoon, as it's happy hour here every day! Classic North American dishes such as pizzas are prepared on the spot with the finest ingredients, and we keep coming back for more. In the evening, the atmosphere is festive and there's often live music. Reggae, salsa, Garifuna music, all tastes are catered for.

El Salvador's famous pupusa recipe holds no secrets here. You can eat in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere right in the center of San Pedro, without paying a hefty bill. Many locals come here in the evening to chat while waiting for their order. It's an opportunity to meet the local guides and prepare for the next day. The cook in action is a sight to behold, and her pupusas are excellent. A good address for all lovers of Latin ambiances and South American flavours.

There are several supermarkets in town, selling everything from food products to household appliances, luggage and stationery... The sandwich department is well worth a visit, and the locals love it. You can compose your sandwich to suit your taste (different types of bread, cheeses, cold meats, tuna, etc.) and your appetite (several sizes: 6 inches - about 15 cm -, 1 foot - about 30 cm). Perfect for budget-conscious eaters looking for a change from the deep-fried street-food available on every corner of the city.
